Jack Klugman & Alan Nadel

In its early years television was only available in black and white. And now the author of a new book argues that that is also an apt way to express the kind of America early television showed us: black, and white. And it was very clear, he says, which one was supposed to represent genuine America. We'll hear from him in a few minutes. But first .. just how similar were Jack Klugman and Tony Randall to the characters they played on TV's "The Odd Couple" in the '70s? To hear Klugman tell it, in his new memoir Tony and Me, the biggest similarity may have been the close bond of friendship -- between Oscar and Felix, and between Jack and Tony.
